Unfortunately, there's no miracle cure for low libido. However, certain substances can potentially help stimulate sexual desire.
As such, you're probably familiar with Viagra, ginger, or even dark chocolate... But have you heard of the potential aphrodisiac effects of CBD?

What is lack of libido?
Before talking about CBD and libido, let's remember that there is no such thing as "normal" or "abnormal" sexuality. In fact, the desire and need for sex depends on each of us, and there is no set norm for the frequency of sexual intercourse.
Signs of low libido
Lack of libido is often associated with frustration:
- Or because you don't feel any desire, even though, technically, all the conditions are in place for the sexual act to take place under the best possible auspices;
- Or because you can't take pleasure despite pleasant stimuli.
And then, for some, the lack of libido also translates into physical symptoms that we call "sexual disorders":
- Inability to achieve or maintain an erection;
- Great difficulty reaching orgasm;
- Premature ejaculation (which occurs unexpectedly, at a time when pleasure is not at its peak);
- Pain, which may be the cause of vaginal dryness in women, or the inability to ejaculate in men (or the manifestation of a mental block).
The most common love-killers ...
Sexual problems are difficult to treat, because the cause is multifactorial. In fact, lack of libido can be due to :
- Hormonal imbalance: the gradual decline in testosterone in men, and the many fluctuations in female hormones in women (menstrual cycles, pregnancy and menopause);
- An unfavourable psychological state: stress, fatigue, anxiety or depression;
- A disease that affects the sexual organs. This is particularly true of endometriosis, which affects 1 in 10 women, or idiopathic pelvic pain (40% of women);
- Side effects caused by treatment. Antidepressants and anti-diabetic drugs in particular are known to significantly reduce sexual desire.
This list is not exhaustive. In some cases, it may be useful to seek the help of a specialist (sexologist or psychotherapist).
Can CBD increase libido?
Despite what you may read here and there, no substance has the power to stimulate sexual desire as such.
In fact, viagra, ginger and dark chocolate don't make you want to make love, they stimulate blood circulation and increase the chances of getting an erection, as well as the sensitivity of certain erogenous zones.
In this sense, CBD is not particularly useful, as it does not appear to have vasodilatory properties. On the other hand, it can potentially act on the causes of low libido. So, is CBD really a natural ally, with multiple benefits, for improving your sex life?
Effects on mood
CBD products are particularly popular with people who suffer from stress, anxiety, depression or chronic fatigue. And there's a good reason for it!
In fact, CBD acts indirectly on the synthesis of serotonin, a hormone that plays an extremely important role in the health of our nervous system. It's also known as the "happy hormone", as high serotonin levels are associated with an intense state of serenity.
Effects on pelvic pain
CBD products are also appreciated by people suffering from chronic pain such as osteoarthritis and rheumatism. And once again, there's an excellent reason for this: CBD acts on our immune system and reduces the inflammatory response. In other words, it has an anti-inflammatory action that helps reduce the intensity of pain, for better sensations.
If you think you may have endometriosis, or if your sexual relations are painful, consult a doctor first. If none of the treatments on offer provide relief, then CBD may be just the thing for you, enabling you to regain sexual fulfillment.
Effects on female hormonal imbalance
As we've seen, CBD acts on the nervous and immune systems. But that's not all! Indeed, some scientists hypothesize that CBD may also regulate hormonal imbalances.
A small-scale study [1] (11 volunteers) concludes that CBD can reduce levels of cortisol, a hormone which, in high quantities, contributes to the disruption of hormones that stimulate the thyroid and sex hormones.
Further studies are certainly needed. However, if CBD really can overcome hormonal imbalances, then it could prove extremely effective in boosting libido, given the link between hormones and sexual desire.
How can you benefit from CBD's potential aphrodisiac effects?
CBD oil won't spice up your nights overnight.
However, it can be used to reduce the stress and anxiety that prevent you from concentrating on your partner. Or reduce the aches and pains that make cuddling unpleasant. And perhaps even provide a solution to the hormonal imbalances that sow discord under the sheets...
Anyway, here's our advice if you fancy trying CBD oil to boost your libido.
Which CBD oil to boost libido?
Of course, the quality of CBD oil is fundamental. And that's why, at Nobilis, our priority is to offer an organically grown product produced using a clean, careful process.
Good to know
Our CBD oil is systematically delivered with laboratory analysis results. This is proof of the absence of potentially harmful substances. It also enables you to check the concentration of CBD and cannabinoids present in the oil.
In addition to its quality, a CBD oil is also characterized by its composition. There are 3 main types of CBD oil:
- CBD oil containing only CBD. This is a vegetable oil (usually hemp seed oil) to which CBD isolate has been added;
- CBD broad spectrum oil contains all the cannabinoids except THC (CBD, but also CBG, CBN, CBC, etc.) as well as the terpenes of cannabis;
- And finally, full spectrum CBD oil, which this time contains all the cannabinoids (although the THC concentration remains below 0.3%) as well as terpenes.
To boost libido, we recommend full spectrum CBD oil. Its composition is as faithful as possible to the original molecular make-up of the cannabis plant. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years to treat sexual problems! It is advocated in the practice of Tantra, as well as in Ayurvedic medicine [2].

What dosage of CBD for a fulfilling sex life?
The question of dosage and frequency of intake is a recurring one among consumers of CBD products. Unfortunately, no matter what benefits you want to derive from it, it's difficult to answer!
In fact, the dosage of a product - whether it contains CBD or not - depends on a whole host of factors specific to each individual: age, weight, intensity of symptoms to be treated, medication taken, etc.
Moreover, in the specific case of CBD products, dosage is all the more personal, as the endocannabinoid system (the set of receptors on which CBD acts) varies from one individual to another. As a result, some people are more sensitive to the effects of CBD than others.
